Testing out live blogging with a NookColor

I’m at the iConference this week. Also in meetings at work this week. It’s sort of worked.

Anyway, my netbook died last year so I decided to try a tablet for a while to see if it would meet my conference needs. (Rooted NookColor with a custom Android OS = cheap tablet)

I took some notes on Gerry Stahl’s talk in the eLearning session using Springpad and midway decided to try the WordPress app for Android. (I’ll paste that in later.) Let’s see how it works out.

Stahl is going over how he looked at chat data of virtual math teams, working collaboratively using conversation analysis modifed for online discourse. [Need to get his paper to look at lit review and modifications.]

Focus on structure of timescales. Longer sequence of 10 discourse moves made up of a series of adjacency pairs is the scale that worked. 10 cognitive steps. Each adjacency pair played one of the steps. The cognition was visible in the chat turns. Wow.

Stahl makes claim that his is first paper that exposes long sequence as cognitive unit.
